What is GLP-1?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, and metabolism. GLP-1 medications mimic this hormone to improve metabolic health, reduce hunger, and support sustainable weight loss.
These therapies were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes but have quickly gained recognition for their effectiveness in medical weight management and overall wellness optimization.
How Does GLP-1 Work?
GLP-1 therapies work by:
- Slowing digestion, which helps you feel fuller longer.
- Reducing appetite and food cravings.
- Improving blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity.
- Supporting healthy metabolic function.
This unique combination makes GLP-1 a powerful tool for patients who want to lose weight safely, improve energy levels, and take control of their long-term health.
Is GLP-1 Right For Me?
GLP-1 therapy may be right for you if you:
- Struggle with weight loss despite healthy lifestyle efforts.
- Experience frequent cravings or difficulty controlling portion sizes.
- Want to improve metabolic health, energy, and long-term wellness.
- Are looking for a physician-guided medical approach to weight management.
During your consultation at Aura, our medical team will review your health history, lifestyle, and goals to determine if GLP-1 therapy is the right fit.

What to Expect with GLP-1
When you begin GLP-1 therapy at Aura Skin Spa, you can expect:
- Initial consultation & assessment – A thorough review of your health and goals.
- Personalized treatment plan – Tailored GLP-1 dosing and supportive therapies.
- Ongoing monitoring – Regular check-ins with our medical team to track progress.

Most patients experience reduced appetite within the first few weeks and begin to notice weight changes as treatment continues.
What Are the Side Effects?
Like any medical treatment, GLP-1 therapies may cause side effects. The most common include:
- Nausea or mild stomach discomfort
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Decreased appetite
These effects are usually temporary and improve as your body adjusts. Our experienced team carefully monitors your progress and adjusts your treatment plan to ensure safety and comfort.
When Will I See Results?
Many patients begin noticing changes in appetite and portion control within the first few weeks of treatment. Visible weight loss often occurs within the first 1–2 months, with continued progress over time.
The key to success with GLP-1 therapies is consistency, lifestyle support, and medical oversight — all of which you’ll find at Aura Skin Spa.
